LibriVox recording of THE INTRUSION OF JIMMY, by P.G. WODEHOUSE. Read by Mark Nelson.

The action begins with playboy bachelor Jimmy Pitt in New York; having fallen in love on a transatlantic liner, he befriends a small-time burglar and breaks into a police captain's house as a result of a bet. The cast of characters head to England, and from there on it is a typically Wodehousian romantic farce, set at the stately Dreever Castle, overflowing with imposters, detectives, crooks, scheming lovers and conniving aunts.

Subject: Another solid read from Wodehouse

It's part of his balmy world of consequenceless young men marrying sensible girls with a soft spot for idiots. Charming...

Subject: Another enjoyable story

Another enjoyable story by P J Wodehouse. The main characters are quickly at cross purposes leading to all sorts of fun.

Mark Nelson's reading is wonderful. He brings the characters to life and sounds like he is enjoying doing so.

Subject: Good book, very good recording

This is a fun book, and the recording strikes me as very polished, with expressive reading, good character voices, and very good sound quality.

Jimmy needs a job, IMHO... :-) Anyways, this is yet another adventure in mischief and misunderstanding by the FIRST master of misdirection, PG Wodehouse.

Jimmy is caught breaking and entering by a rather less than sterling example of the law. Imagine his surprise when he learns that the daughter of this officer is the same lady he fell in love with on a recent ocean voyage! Of course, the officer isn't having a robber for a son in law, he'd rather have an English Lord... and the games begin!

Mark Nelson does his usual fine job of reading. Enjoy!
